    anarchy does have its official definitions, but anarchism is structured. Everyone mixes up anarchy and nhilism. why not research nhilism and fix your stereotypes dude.

    If you look just two posts above the one you are quoting, you will see a post where I included all of the definitions. I assumed anyone reading this thread would read all the posts, my mistake.

    Okay, fair enough, I am an open minded man, enlighten me, point me to definitions of anarchy from legitiment sources that define it differently then I have.

    I'm the most apolitical person in the world... So I don't think that any existing systems are ideal.. I think there is ONE system which will save the world, however, people haven't discover it yet and maybe it will never be discovered..

    Ok, so I missed the first post you made. My bad.
    But I still don't agree with the definitions except for the first one. Anarchy may mean political disorder and confusion, but it does not necessarily mean social disorder.

    Anarcho syndiclist is the most common form of left wing anarchy. Its described in the below link in a pretty impartial way

    I am not entirely convinced, in this article, it says;

    "Like anarchists, syndicalists believe that any form of state is an instrument of oppression and that the state should be abolished."

    The article itself distiguishes between anarchists and syndicalists and even discusses a split between anarcho-syndicalists (who apparently wanted more anarchy and less syndicalism) and moderate reformers. It seems to me, syndicalists, like anarchists, want to do away with the government. Syndicalists, unlike anarchists, want to replace the government with trade unions, who would presumably take over the job of raising taxes, building roads, educating the children, providing security, etc etc. Anarchist or Nihilists or whatever you want to call them, want to do away with government entirely and replace it with nothing. Correct me if I am wrong.

    It doesn't matter as long as I'm in charge. If I can't be the El Presidente for Life, then fuckit.

    I'm pretty ok with what we got now.

    I mean, its a little suck, but most of the people who complain about the system don't have any idea what they're talking about. I'd rather patch my sinking ship then jump into the ocean with a bunch of Freshmen.

    Personally, I think that this country is going to hell. I really wish that all of the rich lawyer fat rats would stop running for office. If this is a democracy in which everybody can run for office, why don't more average joes, who are probably much smarter than Bush, run for office. Do ya wanna know why, cause all the damn corporate fat rats running this country made it too damn expensive to run for office.

    You honestly think hunter-gatherer's tribes didn't fight one another? Learn a little anthropology.

    What does that have to do with the expense that it would cost people to try and run for public office?

    I'm a little lazy right now as it's damn near 6 in the morning and I haven't slept yet but of all the posts I've read I'd have to agree with the person who said that there is no system yet discovered that could save this world, and it may never be. oh and by the way paul, I love that bit about legislators, too true, too damn true.

    Eliminate all of the negative aspects of the monetary system; such as greed, then just maybe we will get past this bullshit.

    Wisdom needs to catch up with technology!

    Bartering sharing and giving back to the earth.

    The fact is; we live in a this state of mind that allows the negative and positive, ways of life simultaneously. Until we learn to stop all the negative, destructive thinking that instigates this, nothing is gonna change!

    Although Nothing can take away the heaven I create in my life, you can do the same and teach others who chose to listen! The bottom line is we create our future.

    A) CRAPITALISM.
    B) SUCKSALISM.
    C) CUMMUNISM.
    D) NONE OF THE ABOVE.

    SLAVES! Don't surrender your PASSION!
    There are many websites that sell MIND DETERGENT, for that clean, fresh feeling. Or is that Summer's Eve? LOL.

    I absolutely agree with you on this. I do practice what I believe and I don't compromise my opinions when it comes to this. These folks want us all to play the game just so long as we play it by their rules and unfortunately it is the ONLY game in town other than just giving up. So I vote and play the game and I constantly advocate for others to vote. I just do it with one small exception to the rules. I NEVER VOTE FOR AN INCUMBENT now matter what the party. If he or she has been in and nothing has changed (and it never has) then I vote them out. Honestly, if a lot of folks did that for just a few election cycles...
